Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Short-term accruals are typically items that involve the exchange of goods or services, such as accounts payable (money owed to suppliers) and accounts receivable (money owed from customers). Pre-paid expenses are also considered short-term accruals, as they represent an advance payment for goods or services to be received in the future. However, cash is not an accrual item, as it represents actual money on hand rather than an obligation to pay or receive in the future. Cash is not an accrual account as it is not related to earning revenues or incurring expenses. It is a real account that reflects the actual cash balance on hand. The other options (A, B, C) are all accrual accounts that relate to earning revenues or incurring expenses in the short term.
